Cusco Highlights✨

Cusco is sooo much more than just a pit stop before Machu Picchu 😍. This city is crazy beautiful and packed with unforgettable vibes! First things first: make sure you hype up your energy with some coca tea when you arrive. The altitude hits different here, so trust me, you don’t wanna skip this local tip! 🍵 Slide into the San Pedro Market (Calle Cascaparo, Cusco 08002, Peru) for souvenirs and all the unique local finds—think vibrant textiles, quirky gifts, and street snacks that are next-level. This market is a total must-visit for those “I was really in Peru” kinda vibes. For foodie adventures, you've gotta taste some legit Andean cuisine. I hit up Jacks Restaurant (F29M+62F, Cusco 08007, Peru) and went for the alpaca burger, and—no cap—it was soooo good! If you’re feeling wild, try something new and snap a pic for the 'gram 🙌🍔 Whether you’re chilling before the trek or living your best “lost city” life, Cusco is loaded with surprises. Don’t just pass through—explore, eat, sip, and shop your way to an epic Peruvian adventure!
